a tale of two guacamoles

avacadosG: No big story here. We love guac! I actually don't know anyone that doesn't.

The first recipe came from Marco, a fellow black jack dealer. We make it when we have company because the fresh chopped peppers make it a little fancier. The second, a smaller batch, is what we usually fix for just the two of us.

mixins

All you need to do to mix up the guacamole is remove the skins and pits from the avocados and mash them up in a bowl. If the avocados are slightly hard, I will chop them inside the bowl with the tip of a knife. You want to mash/stir the avocados until they are a creamy, yet slightly lumpy texture. Next, add and stir in the rest of the ingredients. Best if served immediately since the avacodos can brown quickly.

 

Oh yeah. Don't forget the chips.
